Wrong lottery number prompts lawsuit
A New Jersey TV station that broadcast the wrong lottery numbers is being sued by a local woman for $75,000. Rakel Daniele’s attorney claims she was “severely damaged” by the disappointment of learning that she had not in fact won $250,000 in the lottery, and that WABC’s mistakes were “beyond all possible bounds of decency, and were atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.”
